Topic: Mother components (Read 1378 times)

What are the pertinent components I'm looking for in a motherboard (I'm partial to ASUS personally). In all that I've read I've seen references to the north bridge, south bridge, video, chipset, audio, CPU, etc. The list of known working motherboards is nice but some of the boards are dated.

From personal experience with Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. you'll maybe want to think twice before getting the latest and greatest chipsets etc. as driver support for those devices, and others, can take a while. Some new cards could still be using supported chipsets - you'll have to research things a bit. (Not Abit - no pun intended).
